Rich Hill School District will hold classes on Tuesday January 9, 2018

The Rich Hill School District will hold classes on Tuesday January 9, 2018, whether we have running water or not. Bottled drinking water will be provided for all students and staff.

If we still have no water pressure in the morning, Port-A-Potties will be delivered before school starts in both the high school and elementary areas of the school. I recognize that this is less than ideal, but the education of students needs to resume.

Thank you all for your time. We will see you tomorrow!
